Despite Linda Hamilton ’s appearance inTerminator : Dark Fatebeing placard as a long - awaited return , Terminator Salvationactually experience there first , albeit only in audio footing . In the firstTerminatormovie , Sarah Connormakes tapes for an unborn John to listen to when he ’s older , explain the situation with Skynet , his grandness to humans and the fate of his birthing . There are two shot inTerminator Salvationwhere a grown - up John listens to these magnetic tape in the time to come and Linda Hamilton render specifically to tape this dialogue .
Sarah Connor ’s mien inTerminator Salvationis often overlooked , perhaps for several unlike reasons . The first recording John listens to is really the same tapeline Sarah is take heed have at the very end of the firstTerminatormovie as she refuels at a gasolene station . Understandably , some viewers might think this is reused audio , but Hamilton in reality rerecorded her old seam afresh forTerminator Salvation . The 2nd factor is thatTerminator Salvationis a largely forgettable movie in itself . Though Linda Hamilton ’s presence is certainly welcome , and the scene themselves are neat callbacks to the enfranchisement ’s origins , it ’s clear by the second chronological succession featuring Sarah ’s voice that the motion-picture show is far from the salvation it exact to be , and not even Hamilton ’s foreboding monologue can redeem it .

Although it was " only " her phonation that featured in the picture show , there was months of conjecture regarding whether Hamilton would revert or not and what her purpose could be if she did . Terminatorfans were unanimous in their celebration when it was in the end bring out that the actress would be memorialise fresh Sarah Connor dialog to be used in the the fourthTerminatorfilm .
A decade afterward , and the cycle has started once again , and althoughTerminator : Dark Fateis Hamilton ’s first on - screen return key to the franchise since the lucky epoch ofJudgement Day , it ’s not the first fourth dimension the actress ' presence has been hailed as an optimistic " homecoming to form " for a series that has been flagging since 1991 . In more optimistic term , Terminator : Dark Fateappears to be taking the franchise ’s roots more severely , not only by havingSarah Connorappear in an on - screen office , but also by make for back James Cameron ( arguably also a factor in Hamilton signing on ) and setting the story right afterJudgement Day .
